The Earth is almost never shown like this, and in the meantime, this is our planet from the side of the Pacific Ocean 🌊.
One side of the Earth is almost completely covered with water (the Pacific), while landmass is almost all on the other side.
Glad I caught this. Looking forward to digging into this more but looks like some good sources of intel during disasters... youtube.com/live/11xm95MtOr4… and earth.gov. Thank you @NASA #Emgtwitter

Hey @momofuku, I hear you're bullying businesses over use of the term 'chili crunch'. As Chief Content Officer of MiLa, I propose a blind taste test of both our 'chili crunch' sauces. Winner keeps the name, loser (it'll be you) backs off.
Game on? ;)

We can't forget to look at things in an "all hazards" approach. This article calls out why. When I review any plan, exercise, training and/or incident, I add in an additional lens to all of it. That lens, is my earthquake and tsunami lens. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
This incident is but only a fraction of what would happen in a major earthquake. Multiple, dozens, possibly even hundreds of bridges could/will collapse during the initial shake, but don't forget all the many of aftershocks that will take place.
Japan, NZ had hundreds/thousands of aftershocks with many in the 6.0 or greater. Just one 6.0 would take out bridges. Even thought a major earthquake has not happened in a while, we cannot predict it, just prepare for it. But are we doing enough? #EMGTwitter
Great to see seismic retrofitting happening locally. Especially mitigating possible loss to our teriyaki place on the island! Most would have never know it being a unreinforced masonry building. Mitigation saves lives. #emgtwitter
A beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest today. View from Fort Worden State Park and the Marine Science Center in Port Townsend.
So just had a @paramountplus "Fatal" error pop on my stream and shut it down. Joy of streaming.
Never heard of this. Pretty cool and much easier to follow the ball than normal ping pong. - Fútbol Ping-Pong 😱🤯 #shorts youtube.com/shorts/sKwBum4yZ… via @YouTube
Hey #SMEM. Remember RSS feeds? Well check out openrss.org/blog/bluesky-has… and let's bring back RSS feeds to our outreach and critical messaging. This will be great to have for wildfire season too! See you over there.
Mixing up a photo & music track for a great friend's celebration of life has been a hard task to do this week. Many memories of our friendship over 19 years have been fresh on my mind. Miss you KJ.
Bummed there will be no snow but glad I have capped all my water valves. 20 degree temps could make for a fun mess.
It's 10:30 and I just want to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off to distract me from the work I have to do and the grey skies. Would that be wrong?
I am sad to hear of his loss. We really enjoyed his acting and character. It would have been fun to have him play an Emergency Manager role. Going to be rewatching some 99 now.
Round 2 of the atmospheric rivers! It’s been solid rain for the last 5 hours. Not a hard dumping but a consistent rainfall. Wahoo.
So true.
I needed this story tonight!
In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN. 💙
